| Description: | At his weekly press conference in Washington, DC. President Eisenhower discusses his air inspection plan as offering the best hope for an agreement on world arms reduction. President Eisenhower; "At Geneva if you recall, I offered to exchange the aerial inspection of the United States of that of Russia. This proposal has been enlarged. Because our own allies seen that, the one great truth to inspire this kind of thing is valid. That truth is this. If you can relieve the world of the great fear of surprise devastating attack, then disarmament in my opinion will follow step by step almost automatically. Now, what were trying to do then is to relieve the great fear of surprise attack. So now, our allies propose the inspection of all North America north of the Rio Grande and all of Europe. In exchange for the same inspectional privileges of Russia and her satellites." | |
